Auto-Response
By default, your bin responds to every webhook with 200 OK. Auto-response lets you customize what your bin sends back — useful for testing how services handle different response codes.
Configuration
Open Bin Settings (gear icon) to configure:
Status Code
Set any HTTP status code from 200 to 599:
200— Success (default)201— Created400— Bad Request (test error handling)500— Server Error (test retry behavior)
Response Headers
Add custom response headers as key-value pairs. For example:
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
| Content-Type | application/json |
| X-Custom-Header | my-value |
Response Body
Set a custom response body. This is useful when the webhook sender expects a specific response format.
{
"status": "received",
"message": "Webhook processed successfully"
}
Response Delay
Add a delay (0–10 seconds) before sending the response. This is useful for:
- Testing timeout handling in webhook senders
- Simulating slow endpoints
- Verifying retry behavior when responses are delayed
Use Cases
- Test retry logic — Return 500 to see if the sender retries
- Simulate failures — Return 4xx errors to test error handling
- Verify acknowledgment — Return a specific body the sender expects
- Test timeouts — Add a delay to see how the sender handles slow responses
